What a great looking car!!!!

I had to check the date to be sure I was not still in high school...:D

BeeUU- Thanks

UPDATE!-Today I fixed the A/C. Previous owner said he priced a new hose on the internet for $110 and called around town and found a place to do it for $50, I also checked Autozone and it was special order for $234. I checked around today and found a place that would do it for $45 BUT it wouldn't be ready today. So I checked around and couldn't find anyone. Decided to check an old autoparts store I worked at when I was a kid. A friend from high school who I got into auto parts when we were kids now works there so we were able to make a hose. Total price: $3.82!! I also had to get a retrofit kit to switch it over to R134 so total cost to get A/C charged and going was $45 PLUS I have mucho refridgerant left I can add a little to the Metro. I'm a happy camper as now my wife will ride in the car. Still need to change those rear bearings, they are driving me nuts!!

Thanks to OdieTurbo on checking a CarFax I don't feel quite as bad about tearing up a survivor. The CarFax came up with a minor accident thought I can't find anything on the car that tells me it was ever in an accident. It does need paint as it is a little worn.

Got the noise fixed today. It had a horrible noise at speed. I had a hunch it was a rear wheel bearing and I was right. It was the right rear bearings. Swapped those and the races out and it's a quiet ride now (except for the diesel noise :) ) I'm at 315 miles on my first tank or diesel and it's still above half. I'll be waiting for my Frybrid system for probably at least another month.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. I can't wait to get my diesel going.

Diesel Chevettes are AWESOME! but rare as hens' teeth. :p
